From my experience here I would give them a definite two thumbs up. The staff was nice, polite, and they make you feel comfortable (not like those offices where they don't even say a word!). I was pretty much in and out which was nice because no one wants to sit in a room by themselves forever wondering when the heck the doctor will come.
Overall, I was very pleased with this doctors office and plan on returning again.

I hadn't seen in at least 10 years, but my recollection was that he was a terrific doctor with a very pleasant personality. My recollection was spot-on! What a terrific doc! His explanations were clear and concise, and not rushed. Couldn't have been happier with the office visit overall (and I DO NOT like going to the doctor)!

He is ALWAYS on time, 95% of the time he is cheery and welcoming, and with this visit, he was very thorough in describing what he saw in the reading of the MRI by the radiologist. He himself found reading it difficult because the images were very poor! Not his fault!

I had a pretty simple issue: Wrist has been acting up. They got me an xray in the very next room, loaded them on a computer, and he came in and was able to look at them. As someone who has had an HMO, I know this process could easily have taken two months. He did a bunch of tests on my wrist as well, and got me an MRI scheduled within 1 week. I just had it yesterday, so still waiting for results. All has been excellent so far!
